A#                          F
I forgot to remember to forget her
                               A#
I can't seem to get her off my mind
    D#                           A#
I thought I'd never miss her but I found out somehow
    F               F7            A#
I think about her almost all the time

Chorus:
    D#                                 A#
The day she went away I made myself a promise
                                F F7
That I'd soon forget we'd ever met
      A#                          D#
But somethin' sure is wrong cause I'm so blue and lonely
      A#       F            A#
I forgot to remember to forget - x2
